Soccer: Milan move into Champions League places with Genoa win

MILAN (Reuters) - AC Milan moved back into the Serie A Champions League places when second-half goals from Fabio Borini and Suso gave them a 2-0 win at Genoa at a half-empty Luigi Ferraris stadium on Monday. Genoa's ultras stayed away in protest at the decision by Italy's sports security agency to stage the match at 1500 local time on the grounds that an evening kickoff would be risky because of fierce rivalry between the two sets of fans. Milan were without Gonzalo Higuain after coach Gennaro Gattuso said the striker was "not ready" to play ahead of an expected move to Chelsea but the Rossoneri hardly missed the Argentine as they moved back into fourth position.
